PLACING THE INMOTION IM3 SYSTEM

Position the inMotion iM3 system on a level surface, preferably close to you (within three feet). The inMotion iM3 system can be placed close to video displays such as TVs and computer monitors without distorting the image.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Warning: Do not insert the speaker system’s universal power supply into a wall outlet until all connections are made. Also, turn off your iPod before docking on the inMotion iM3 system.

To ensure first-time operation as expected, please carefully follow the connection sequences described below in the order indicated.

Newer iPods can be connected to the inMotion iM3 system using the docking port and the appropriate docking adapter (docking adapters are labeled for iPod identification). Older iPods and other portable audio devices must be connected using the secondary input jack. These are the only signal input connections that need to be made. After either of these connections are made, insert the barrel connector from the universal power

supply into the connector marked on the rear of the inMotion iM3 system. After this connection is made, insert the universal power supply into a wall outlet. You can now use your speakers.

Please note, the inMotion iM3 system can also be powered with four

AAbatteries (not included). Make sure the batteries are installed as illustrated in the battery compartments found on the bottom of the inMotion iM3 system.
